zsh4humans VS zsh-quickstart-kit

You can find specific examples of autoload +X in https://github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/tree/v5.

zsh4humans (from the creator of Powerlevel10k)

But I like the Powerlevel10k zsh theme with the Lean Style a bit more than that. I'm using it with his configurable zsh setup as my base + zcomet plugin manager. Otherwise they're pretty similar as far as general looks & use goes.

Docs are here and here. I wouldn't recommend trying zsh4humans if you aren't already comfortable with zsh configs. If you do decide to try it, read all tips linked above and follow as many as you can. The default experience is decent but it's far cry from what you can achieve with a personally tailored config.

OMZ is slow, been using zinit since it came out because OMZ and antigen were so slow to start up. Recently I found zsh4humans [1] which benchmarks much better than any other solution, is portable, and has everything I need with sane configs.

If you are trying zsh4humans, make sure to read https://github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/blob/master/tips.md and follows as many tips as possible.

If you want to try a different preconfigured shell environment, big names are Prezto and zsh4humans. Prezto, like OMZ, comes with a plugin manager built in; zsh4humans does not.

I am unaware of any distro that applies the first three elements (or something similar) that would NOT be considered bloated. Therefore I'll abstain from suggesting any. Instead, I suggest to configure it yourself by simply installing fish, bat and fzf; after which they are configured to work as desired. This can be applied on most distros. For whatever it's worth, if you're lazy like me, perhaps consider the excellently maintained ZSH Quickstart Kit. It utilized Zsh instead of Fish, but perhaps it might be to your liking.

It switched around nine months ago. https://github.com/unixorn/zsh-quickstart-kit/pull/88
